Description
There is a website for "bean validation" out there: https://beanvalidation.org/
However:
1. The news section hasn't been updated in years.
2. The website doesn't mention Jakarta Validation 3.1 -- and is probably outdated in other areas.
3. The website is hosted on Red Hat infrastructure, and maintained by the Hibernate team, with no involvement or control from the Eclipse foundation.
4. Jakarta Validation already has a website: https://jakarta.ee/specifications/bean-validation/
I wouldn't be able to tell you who has ownership of the DNS records, but I can try to find out, and I suspect the Eclipse Foundation would want to own it.
What should we do with this website?
1. Keep things as they are, with outdated information.
2. Transfer ownership (push access) to people working on Jakarta Validation.
3. Re-host it somewhere on Eclipse infrastructure, and keep it up to date.
4. Re-host it somewhere on Eclipse infrastructure, for archive purposes, with some added banner to mention the content is obsolete.
5. Completely lose the content and change the DNS to redirect to some other Eclipse website (https://jakarta.ee/specifications/bean-validation/ or this GitHub repo).
6. Something else?
The Hibernate team can help with the transfer of hosting/ownership, but I don't think we will be able to keep the website up to date.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the current beanvalidation.org site alongside the Jakarta Validation specification page and the ownership and hosting concerns described here. Determine which disposition the Jakarta Validation maintainers and Eclipse Foundation choose; done means the chosen ownership, hosting, redirect, or archival plan is agreed and carried out.
